How to approach the creation of secure / private channels?

Question

What is the best way to create a secure channel?

Could some token (feed.example.com/user_private?user=1&token=XXXXXXXXXXX) be okay or some other more suitable solutions?

Although I have little to offer on this subject, you may find the following article useful:

It offers a summary of the various clients of the RSS feeds (they may be a little dated by now). Comments may also be helpful.

Use basic authentication.

http://username: password@feed.example.com /user_private

(Not all channel readers support this.)
